00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:09.080
This is Later with Lee Matthews The
Lee Matthews Podcast. More of what You

2
00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:13.679
here weekday afternoons on the Drive.
So glad I had this guy along because

3
00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:17.640
I'm a big fan. Larry the
Cable Guy. Multi platinum recording artist,

4
00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:21.679
Grammy nominee, Billboard Award winner,
and one of the top comedians in the

5
00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:25.440
country. He also makes love like
a fire breathing dragon, and he's joining

6
00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:32.200
us. Now, Hi, Larry, where did that? They mast have

7
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:40.159
made a mistake on my Wikipedia.
I guess the question is if you if

8
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:42.920
you do make love like a fire
breathing dragon, how do I know?

9
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:48.079
Right right now? It's like a
the GM Chico. I gotta lose some

10
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:52.280
weight. Well, that summer has
been good to me. I got on

11
00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:55.600
the trampoline with my kids the other
day, did two jump and I had

12
00:00:55.640 --> 00:01:00.039
to get off a dead day.
You know, I wasn't tired. I

13
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:06.200
had to get a ladder to get
my kids out of a tree. I

14
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:11.879
need it. But I'm but I'm
doing my best show. I'm I'm trying

15
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:15.239
to eat better things. You can. Let me just say this though,

16
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:19.000
for people, if you don't know
if you're overweighted or not, here's how

17
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:22.319
you can tell if you're too fat. All right, you go to ghostry

18
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:26.239
store, you go to the ten
items or last line and just slip in

19
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:30.200
a kit cat bar. Okay,
when you get to the end, if

20
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:34.799
she looks at you and goes,
do you want this in the badge or

21
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:38.599
do you want to take it with
you? That's when you know you're too

22
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:42.920
fat. When the when the girl
working the registers sizing you up to try

23
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:47.560
to guess what item of food you
can't wait to eat on the way to

24
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:51.560
the car, or we're still Larry
the cable guy. You go to the

25
00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:57.560
self check out on the computer asks
you that question. Boy, that would

26
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:01.200
be even worse right there. I
hate those self checkouts, you know,

27
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:06.400
it's like all the fun of working
at the grocery store without the paycheck.

28
00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:13.280
Yeah, yeah, the three million
dollars they go, they go, they

29
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:15.719
go to that self pitchout tone that
saves time you go in. You do

30
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:21.199
it. You're hitting that. I
waited behind a guy for twenty minutes.

31
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:27.840
Are you trying to find a barcode
on a cucumber? Yeah? Or oh

32
00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:30.639
I put two in the I only
need one and you have to call the

33
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:35.159
attendant over. Uh Larry the Cable
Guy's going to be here in town at

34
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:39.919
the National Reigning Horse Association top show, the one hundred X Reigning Classic,

35
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:45.439
and it is going on now until
Sunday. It's a three million dollars total

36
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:50.479
purse. But we've got all of
the National Reigning Horse performers that are performing

37
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:53.560
at this as well as Larry the
Cable Guy. And he's also going to

38
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:58.319
be joined by Curb Records recording artist
Dylan Scott. So it ought to be

39
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:01.599
a good time. This is your
element, Larry. Oh heck yeah,

40
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:06.039
I'm I'm all about that. Bit
of a big rodeo fan. My whole

41
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:10.719
life had a rodeo team, a
still sponsor, Shally Lord. She's a

42
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:19.439
barrel racer. My daughter is trying
to figure out how to do barrels.

43
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:23.319
My wife we riot all the time. I've had horses since as a kid,

44
00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:28.599
so yeah, I'm looking forward to
it. I always have. I

45
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:30.759
had a horse long time ago.
You know, I used to do that

46
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:36.639
joke about my horse broke its leg
and I had to shoot it, and

47
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:43.319
then it had a broken leg and
a gunshot womb. Yeah, I had

48
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:46.080
no idea why they said to shoot
him, because it never makes him any

49
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:50.840
better. I know that much.
Well. I grew up around horses two

50
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:54.400
mainly quarter horses, and these reining
horse guys. These guys are really uh

51
00:03:54.520 --> 00:04:00.199
this is this is heavy duty stuff. And the barrel racers too, you

52
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:04.159
know. Ever since Biden's been in
office, some quarter horses they've changed their

53
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:12.319
names to penny horse. Yes,
Larry the cable guy is going to be

54
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:17.040
with us at the three million dollars
one hundred Raining Classic going on in Tulsa,

55
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:23.879
and that will be at the Tulsa
expos Square until Sunday. So you've

56
00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:30.160
you've not slowed down one bit with
your your performing. Well, no,

57
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:38.120
I actually have my kids. Here's
the story real quick. My kids grew

58
00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:42.360
up on the tour bus. Basically, I did two hundred and eighty seven

59
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:46.800
nights on the road a year in
the tour bus, and that figgered up

60
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:51.720
to about two hundred and jee's two
hundred and sixty shows. I think I

61
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:57.279
did two hundred and forty shows something
like that. But we lived on a

62
00:04:57.319 --> 00:05:00.720
tour bus. And then when my
kids, when my kids got old enough

63
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:04.319
to go to a high school,
we home schooled all the way to ninth

64
00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:10.800
grade. Oh goodness, uh yeah, and so h I said, I'm

65
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:15.000
gonna slow down. So I only
do I do twenty four shows a year,

66
00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:20.720
and then I do Uh, and
then I do Jeff and I have

67
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:27.800
my own station on Serious Exam and
then I do a show there once a

68
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:34.920
week live, and then I do
a ton of video games and and voices

69
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:42.519
for me U, for cartoons and
stuff like that. Anyway, I did,

70
00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:47.560
I did, I did until everybody
started striking. Yeah. Well,

71
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:53.199
I was going to ask how the
pandemic affected your material? Did it if

72
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:57.879
you more material to work with?
Yeah, he gave me a ton of

73
00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:05.600
material, that's for sure a fact. But I, in my case,

74
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:12.199
when the pandemic hit, I was
kind of ready to get off the road

75
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:15.439
anyway. So for me, it
was kind of of course, I hated

76
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:23.399
it. Obviously, nobody liked it. I was very fortunate and blessed to

77
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:28.439
have had a really nice career,
so I was one of I was able

78
00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:34.160
to you know, uh, wait
it out. Yeah, and to me,

79
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:38.759
it was nice to be able to
stay home and be with my family.

80
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:44.000
But no, I hated it.
I was I don't get me started

81
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:48.399
on it. Let's just put it
that way, all right, Whatever you

82
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:53.319
felt about it. It is probably
how I felt about how's that sound.

83
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:58.279
He's going to be at the INAUGURAB
one hundred X Raining Classic going on now

84
00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:02.079
at the Tulsa X Square. I
know one thing, you couldn't find any

85
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:06.360
dead gum toilet paper you were That's
thing I could That's the one thing I

86
00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:11.199
couldn't figure out about it. People
buying up toilet paper. What in the

87
00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:15.800
world. And if you've seen the
toilet paper that up and cost goo and

88
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:20.120
stuff, that them rules a toilet
paper the size of Fred Blmstone's front tire.

like, don't squeeze the charman.

90

I can't lift that gun, Charman. Look at the size of it.

91
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:33.639
And if you're buying that much toilet
paper, you really got some sort of
